Earth Day
The children came together for a wonderful Peace Assembly focusing around Earth Day. There was discussion about the meaning behind Earth Day and presentations were made by the children, who then spent the day working around related activities.

Our Seasonal Presentation was a great success with our classroom filled with songs and poems and Christmas scents. The children all enjoyed spreading the Christmas spirit followed by a surprise visit from Santa and his Elf.
Field Trip to VISAR’S Winter Wonderland and Village
Casa and Elementary students made a visit to VISAR’S Winter Wonderland and Village at the Cyril B Romney Tortola Pier Park. Parents and helpers assisted the children as they made their way on the rink. A fun time was had by all.
“Book the School” for Reading is Fun Week
Upper Elementary students chose a few of their favourite books for Read is Fun Week.
Lecture in Creche
This week we were happy to hold our Creche lecture and started by giving a brief overview of our expectations for this age group in the Montessori setting followed by a run down of a typical day in Creche. We were able to answer lots of interesting questions and enjoyed finding out a little more about our students home life. Some of our Creche students attended too and had fun showing their classroom to their parents while practising some of the materials on them. Our next lecture is in February and will feature our Casa 3-6 years classes.
Martin Luther King Day
The whole school came together for a wonderful Peace Assembly with the elementary students presenting artwork, songs and poems about this famous man. We learnt about his life and his family and some of the work he achieved during his lifetime.
BVI Culture Week
A week packed full of BVI Culture which included a presentation on Fungi Music, learning about BVI Old Time Games and visit from Ms. BVI, Bria Smith who shared a folktale with the children. Our week ended with a very special visit from Premier Hon. Andrew Fahie and Hon. Sharie DeCastro who shared cultural discussion with the children.
International Day
Our 21st International Day was a brilliant success with the most amazing display of costumes and attire. After a beautiful performance of songs and poems the students, families and friends enjoyed Friendship and Fellowship and savoury and sweet potluck dishes from around the world.
Open House
Our new school year got off to a good start when some of our families were able to join us for a social get together to meet and chat with the teachers and to view the classes at our recent Open House. We were happy to have some of our students visit too.
Sports Day
Our Annual Sports Day got off to a great start with the children singing their chants followed by a quick warm up with the Zumba instructor. Each team enjoyed participating at the various stations with activities they had been practising during recent PE lessons. The Creche students had a wonderful time participating in their scaled options.
Thank you to all the parents, family members and friends that came out to cheer the children on. We congratulate all the children on their team spirit and making our Sports Day one to remember.
Easter Celebrations
Our final week of the Lent Term brought entertainment with our Easter Presentation. The children sang songs and recited poems to many of our parents. The weather held for the arrival of the Easter Bunny and the children enjoyed gathering the hidden eggs with their friends. Some of the children brought kites which they flew in the gentle breeze. A wonderful ending to the term.
The Amazing Little Race to Save
We are very proud of Ian Cruikshank and Alex Cleofoster Williams for participating in “The Amazing Little Race to Save”. This event took place on Friday, April 6 at the Tortola Pier Park. It was a banking and saving awareness event arranged by the BVI Financial Services Commision. Please check the website out for photos of the event. We thank their families for participating and allowing CHMS to be represented.
SCIENCE FAIR WEEK
Our recent Science Fair Week was a great success enjoyed by the students and teachers alike. Our thanks go out to all our parents for helping inspire the children and making it such a fun week for all.
ARTS FAIR/GRADUATION CEREMONY
So many of our families turned out to attend our Arts Fair and Graduation Ceremony. The children performed songs and poems and those moving between the classes were recognised with gifts and certificates along with those who are leaving. The classrooms looked beautiful having been decorated with all the artwork the students have been busy creating since January.
